I don't really have time to read a daily paper any more, unfortunately. I do like to buy one on Saturday though and spend a couple of hours with it in a cafe. It's a damn shame that the pace of life has stopped me from having half an hour at lunch to read a daily though. I've started to optimise my newsreading time by reading a French current affairs magazine instead of an English one, so I keep up with the news and improve my vocabulary at the same time. Unfortunately French news is rather boring compared with English news, and I've no idea who half the people are that I'm reading about. They're all better looking than English people though.
